Ive been digging through pennies for a few years now looking for wheat pennies or anything else I could find that was interesting.
A couple of months ago I started thinking it would be easier to find those pennies I want if I could sort out the copper. After searching for awhile and doing some research I found that I wanted a Ryedale sorter. The price kept making me put it off. Well, long story short, found one on Ebay last Friday! The seller put me onto these forums and I spent all day Saturday reading threads.
I havent got my machine in the mail yet, but Im looking forward to it arriving even more now.
And to think I just turned my pre 1982 pennies in all this time... Im not really interested in hoarding coppers. I will probably be selling a good chunk of coppers each month (at least until the Ryedale is paid for). I have access to as many pennies as I want to buy. I think the hard part is going to be getting rid of the zincs!
By the way, any S. Florida people here?

| Welcome to realcent and coin sorting. |
"Rich," the Old Man said dreamily, "is not baying after what you can't have. Rich is having the time to do what you want to do. Rich is a little whiskey to drink and some food to eat and a roof over your head and a fish pole and a boat and a gun and a dollar for a box of shells. Rich is not owing any money to anybody, and not spending what you haven't got." Robert Ruark

May the Cu force be with you! Don't forget, there are "error" coins out there to look for and that just makes it so much more fun!

| Welcome to the club. These crszy nuts have been very helpful to me and I am in north FL. in Jacksonville. So stay outta my back yard (j/k) you are more than welcome here in jax. I am a firm believer in the errors also like Computer Jones said. I found a 83 DDR and 5 wide am's just recently, so good luck in your hunt. |
